Philadelphia Eagles back up QB Nick Foles has resurrected an offense that has been under tight scrutiny for the past few weeks. Foles had put the Eagles at the top of their division and has not even turned the ball over.
Even Eagles QB Michael Vick has been impressed by the pose that Foles has and agrees that Foles should stay the starter.”In all honesty, in all fairness, how can you take a guy out of the game who’s been playing so well?” Vick said Thursday in his weekly radio spot on WIP-FM, via CSN Philadelphia. Vick has been under this type of pressure before and he has helped Foles grow “I’ve been in this stage before, and I know what it’s like. I understand the position that this team is in, and the one thing I never want to do is be a distraction or put our team or our coaches in a position where they feel like they’re not doing the right thing or I feel like they’re not doing the right thing.”as a player.
“He can potentially be a starter in this league for a long time. It’s just about timing, as of right now,” Vick said. “As long as he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s going to continue to build that case.”
Foles has threw for 16 touchdowns with no interceptions and hold a passer rating of 132.5.
At first there were a lot of critics that did not think that Nick Foles could run the offense, but Coach Chip Kelly has thoughts otherwise.“The thing with Nick is, he may not be fleet of foot, but he’s fleet of mind,” Kelly told CSNPhilly.com. “He’s a really, really good decision maker. Part of being a guy that can distribute the football throwing the ball, being a good decision maker is the same exact situations in the run game. You have to be a good decision maker to know when to give it and to know when to pull it. It’s really just taking advantage of what the defense is. If they’re all going to commit and try to take away the running back and no one’s responsible for the quarterback, you’ve got to be able to make them pay, and Nick has done that for us.”
As the Eagles go into their bye Coach Chip Kelly have some decisions in the QB department.
